The fashion brand Zara apologized after its latest ad campaign, called "The Jacket," was widely criticized as tone-deaf and insensitive for evoking the destruction in Gaza.

Although the campaign was conceived in July and photographed in September, many customers felt the release of the photos last Thursday, during the war, was insensitive. The Israel-Hamas war broke out on Oct. 7.
